Beverly my wife might have seemed nice, but I'm not sure how many more times she will let me use "I just put you through school" to get a new bike. BUT! If I find a great deal on lightweight frame I might just have to give it a thorough luck. In fact I was just reading some reviews some new frames.

Thanks to others for the advice on the weather. I had planned to camp as well. Guess I'd better pack some warmer stuff just in case.
